2012-05-18
* Works pretty much everything, it's an almost perfect daily use build.
Known bugs:
* I had to replace Cyanogen's camera app with Allwinner's because preview frame was incredibly huge and buttons couldn't be pressed.
* When you take a picture using camera the thumbnails that appears in Gallery are corrupted, but you can use an alternative (and better) app like QuickPic as workaround. You can even disable Gallery app and use MX Player as video player which works pretty fine in HW mode (you don't need any codec)
* Reboot to recovery doesn't work, it just reboots the tablet.

Cool stuff... Any chance of making it compatible with the Sysbay S-MP99 / Icoo D90W / Uppo PO8003 (which are all the same tablet hardware wise I think)?
Hi Christian Troy,
Do you have any idea how to load d90w touch screen driver - gt8110_2plus1.ko?
I hope you get this ROM working on the D90W
I'd love to try it when you do... Let me know if you need help testing!
See less See more
guys, now that the rom is fully functional i'm planning to extend support to other tablets... who's interested leave a message with a link to an original .img firmware and i'll see what can I do
I tried to send you a PM because I put the files on my private web server, but the forum tells me I can't send you one


I'll put the links here anyway. Please let me know when you've downloaded them, so I can remove them again.

Latest IMG for the Sysbay S-MP99 tablet:

http://mistral.vanderwerf.net/sun4i_crane_sysbay-sc3052-20120413.zip

Latest IMG for the Icoo D90W tablet:

http://mistral.vanderwerf.net/sun4i_crane_D90-sc3052_20120507_V1.2.zip

As far as I know both devices are ROM compatbile. I've been interchanging firmwares on my Sysbay S-MP99 tablet.

If you need me to run some kind of tooling or logging to gather more information, let me now.

Thanks!

@Mr Magic

* -TEST- ICOO D90W and clones need this compatibility zip. -TEST-
Awesome! Going to try it today and let you know, thanks!

Edit:
I just tried it and unfortunately it doesn't work.

I flashed the 26/05 nightly, gapps and D90W compatibility and then rebooted.

I see the Icoo D90W bootscreen, so I'm pretty sure the flash worked (I had a Sysbay ROM on it before).

The tablet then boots to the setup screen and there are two issues:

1. The screen is upside down both in portrait and landscape mode. When I turn the screen it just flips over so that it's still upside down


2. The touch screen does not work.

Thanks for trying, I hope you can fix it.

@Christian: I do have ADB access after my tablet has booted to the initial setup screen, so if you need a log file or config file or something, let me know.
edit2: for icoo and clones if 1.0.1 still doesnt work try this (maybe i got it, it's that f***ing script.bin
)
@Christian: With the 1.0.2 version the touch screen now works! However, the screen orientation is still upside down.

This means I have to touch the screen in the opposite diagonal spot to hit the correct button

Edit:

Ok, I fixed the rotation issue by adding this line to build.prop:

ro.sf.hwrotation=180
See less See more
2
it's not right, let's try to do it through script.bin... remove that ro.sf.hwrotation entry and try this new compatibility zip... in few tries we should make it
Hmm, are you sure? I've checked the build.prop in the original ROM images and the entry is in there as well...

Anyway, I'll give 1.0.3 a try.

Also, it would be convenient if you could add some freeware file explorer in the ROM


Edit:

Ok, I tried 1.0.3 and without the ro.sf.hwrotation entry the screen and touch are indeed in sync now, but still upside down. Adding the entry back into build.prop reverses the screen and touch again.

So I'm going back to the combination of 1.0.2 + ro.sf.hwrotation in build.prop because that one works for me

Stability Test@1200Mhz - Stable running for 3+ hours
Is there any way to set the max speed to 1100 MHz?

I'v tried enabling/disabling the virtuous_oc daemon as stated in the OP and I've tried a few different OC programs, but none of them let me set the max CPU to 1100 Mhz. I can set it to 960 MHz, but anything above that will always make the CPU scale up to 1200 Mhz.

1200 MHz seems to run fine in most cases, but when I play a game such as Angry Birds Space, it starts to freeze.
mmmmmmm recovery update-script is too limited, i've created a bash script that checks for an existing file .firstboot and if it doesnt exists it adds that line and changes the name from MP907C to D90W

all included in 1.0.6
Lol.. you're not going to like this... I've just discovered that the D90W compatibility version 1.0.2 with manual rotation added to build.prop doesn't display streaming video properly. The video is upside down, regardless of playing it in a window or full-screen. I've seen it with the YouTube app and a local Dutch app for hardware news (HardwareInfo). The GUI elements of the apps are unaffected, only the video is upside down.

magic nops, all recent kernels jumps from 1008 -> 1200, you can only use 960
Ok, pity. Maybe someday another kernel will come along
See less See more
magic, can you try putting file sensors.sun4i.so from cm9 (not the one in the compatibility zip), unzip the rom and you'll find it under /system/lib/hw
let's see what happens

btw that is why i was saying that hacking that properties wasnt the way to go
I assume you mean sensors.exDroid.so, because the file you mention doesn't exist


Anyway I tried it and it didn't work. Actually, auto rotation didn't work at all anymore.

Thanks for trying. I hope you'll run into the solution some day.
See less See more
I can confirm Mr Magic's findings after having flashed Icoo compatibility version 1.0.6.
YouTube videos play upside down through YouTube app. Video files also play upside down through 2160P Video Player and MX Player (not tried any others).
Flash video plays correctly in browser.
That's interesting. I tried playing an MP4 file with BS Player and that did not play upside down.

Also with the YouTube app as a workaround you can flip the tablet 180 degrees. The interface will flip, so the video will be played right-side up


Anyway I think this CM9 build is quite useable this way.

I also like the fact that Wifi continues to work in deep sleep mode.

I do hope that a kernel will come out that supports more CPU frequencies, because 1200 MHz is a bit too high for my tablet.
See less See more
Ok, I updated to the latest version (28/05), flashed gapps and D90W compatibility 1.0.7.

Unfortunately videos are still upside down in the YouTube app. I can see hwrotation was added to build.prop.

Something did change though: when I start the YouTube app with the tablet 180 degrees flipped the entire GUI flips (as it should) and videos play correctly. But when I choose to play the video full-screen, the GUI elements are flipped 180 degrees again while the video still plays correctly.
magic
that thing is correct but i'm adding a new check, without wiping anything try to flash this one, it's a system .jar modified, let's see what happems
I flashed the rotation test and now the YouTube GUI is ok again when I flip the tablet 180 degrees and switch to full screen. However in default landscape mode (0 degrees) the video is still upside down.

I've tried a few other apps that play video through an external player (I use BS Player) and they are all fine.

The only other app I see strange behaviour from is the Dutch HardwareInfo app as I already said before.

Edit:

Indeed the IMDB app also plays videos upside down. I can use the app normally when the tablet is switched 180 degrees, but when I play a video it switches to full-screen, the video is correct, but the Android menu-bar and the video controls switch back to 0 degree mode.

Anyway it's only a small inconvenience that I have to flip the tablet for the YouTube app and no reason not to use your ROM


and btw, under "display -> settings" in g-sensor properties there are some checkboxes that enable rotations, cm9 defaults to no 180° rotation, try to enable it
Yes, I know. I had already enabled it before, because otherwise my tablet did not work in 180 degree mode.
See less See more
I tried BS Player and if I enable system HW decoding then the GUI and video upside down with tablet at 0°. Auto rotation seems to disable while playing, so turning tablet upside down means it is fine.
I think sclements is onto something here. Indeed in SW mode BS Player plays video properly and in HW mode it's flipped. Looks like only hardware accelerated video is being flipped.

Maybe there is some parameter that needs to be changed to tell the video driver how to play accelerated video? Similar to what we're already doing with the hwrotation setting in build.prop?
nope, i dont have any clue on that issue, it only happens with mma7660 gsensor because it needs the ro.sf.hwrotation tweak that doesnt work fine with video playback
The weird thing is that the original ROMs for the D90W and S-MP99 also have this tweak in build.prop. I guess there is a separate setting somewhere for playing hardware accelerated video (software works fine), but I have no clue where to look
See less See more
if it helps i accidently installed Sausage script onto my D90W and it flipped the video the wrong way around.
Interesting. Which option of SausageMOD did you choose exactly? And what was flipped exactly, just the small video window inside an app (for example YouTube) or the entire screen?
mmmmm someone with d90w please try this test compatibility zip (be sure you dont have ro.sf.hwrotation in build.prop)...

gsensor should work fine and hw video playback should be correct
I was just about to post my results for your 6 test versions when you posted this.

Unfortunately it doesn't work.

I removed the hwrotation tweak from build.prop, but with this ZIP the screen is upside down in landscape mode (portrait is ok). Also the touch screen is mirrored.

I'm going to test the 6 versions again and write down some more logging, because it got a bit complicated
See less See more
Ok, here are my test results as promised.

Explanation of the pictures:

P = position of Power-button on the tablet
Y = location of YouTube logo in the app (i.e. top left of the app)
T = location of the top of the video

As you can see with compatibility version 1.0.7 only the 180º mode is correct (top of YouTube app same as top of video).

What becomes clear now is that regardless of the version of sensors.exDroid.so, the video orientation is the same in all situations.

It looks like we can't fix this with just an updated sensors.exDroid.so, because the orientation of hardware accelerated video seems to be dependent of some other setting/parameter.

Note: during all tests (1-6) the tablet booted with the CM9 logo upside down and with the touch screen mirrored.

this is the last one, after this i'm sorry but i give up
Nope. This one (TEST3) is the same for the YouTube app as compatibility 1.0.7 in my previous post. But the touch screen is still mirrored.

Thanks for all your efforts though.

And indeed CWM is upside down too, I guess we should have mentioned that sooner.
At the dropad/herotab section was also a mention of the upsidedownproblem (like the ZTE Blade) by fonix232. Maybe it could help.
That link looks interesting, but if I read it correctly it requires a recompilation of the kernel with some different parameters.
